recycling or proper disposal.
2.12 Fundamental dangers

General
• Observe safety distances.
• Never deactivate safety devices.
• Before commissioning the product, take appropriate protective
measures to secure the danger zone.
• Disconnect power sources before installation, modification,
maintenance, or calibration. Ensure that no residual energy
remains in the system.
• If the energy supply is connected, do not move any parts by
hand.
• Do not reach into the open mechanism or movement area of
the product during operation.
2.12.1 Protection during handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly
Incorrect handling and assembly may impair the product's safety
and cause serious injuries and considerable material damage.
• Have all work carried out by appropriately qualified personnel.
• For all work, secure the product against accidental operation.
• Observe the relevant accident prevention rules.
• Use suitable assembly and transport equipment and take
precautions to prevent jamming and crushing.
Incorrect lifting of loads
Falling loads may cause serious injuries and even death.
• Stand clear of suspended loads and do not step into their
swiveling range.
• Never move loads without supervision.
• Do not leave suspended loads unattended.

Basic safety notes
2.12.2 Protection during commissioning and operation

Falling or violently ejected components
Falling and violently ejected components can cause serious injuries
and even death.
• Take appropriate protective measures to secure the danger
zone.
• Never step into the danger zone during operation.
2.12.3 Protection against dangerous movements
Unexpected movements
Residual energy in the system may cause serious injuries while
working with the product.
• Switch off the energy supply, ensure that no residual energy
remains and secure against inadvertent reactivation.
• Never rely solely on the response of the monitoring function to
avert danger. Until the installed monitors become effective, it
must be assumed that the drive movement is faulty, with its
action being dependent on the control unit and the current
operating condition of the drive. Perform maintenance work,
modifications, and attachments outside the danger zone
defined by the movement range.
• To avoid accidents and/or material damage, human access to
the movement range of the machine must be restricted. Limit/
prevent accidental access for people in this area due through
technical safety measures. The protective cover and protective
fence must be rigid enough to withstand the maximum possible
movement energy. EMERGENCY STOP switches must be easily
and quickly accessible. Before starting up the machine or
automated system, check that the EMERGENCY STOP system is
working. Prevent operation of the machine if this protective
equipment does not function correctly.

Basic safety notes
2.12.4 Protection against electric shock

Possible electrostatic energy
Components or assembly groups may become electrostatically
charged. When the electrostatic charge is touched, the discharge
may trigger a shock reaction leading to injuries.
• The operator must ensure that all components and assembly
groups are included in the local potential equalisation in
accordance with the applicable regulations.
• While paying attention to the actual conditions of the working
environment, the potential equalisation must be implemented
by a specialist electrician according to the applicable
regulations.
• The effectiveness of the potential equalisation must be verified
by executing regular safety measurements.

Basic safety notes
2.13 Notes on particular risks

DANGER
Risk of fatal injury from suspended loads!
Falling loads can cause serious injuries and even death.
• Stand clear of suspended loads and do not step within their
swiveling range.
• Never move loads without supervision.
• Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
• Wear suitable protective equipment.
WARNING
Risk of injury from objects falling and being ejected!
Falling and ejected objects during operation can lead to serious
injury or death.
• Take appropriate protective measures to secure the danger
zone.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to unexpected movements!
If the power supply is switched on or residual energy remains in
the system, components can move unexpectedly and cause
serious injuries.
• Before starting any work on the product: Switch off the power
supply and secure against restarting.
• Make sure, that no residual energy remains in the system.
WARNING
Risk of injury from sharp edges and corners!
Sharp edges and corners can cause cuts.
• Use suitable protective equipment.
WARNING
Risk of burns through contact with hot surfaces!
Surfaces of components can heat up severely during operation.
Skin contact with hot surfaces causes severe burns to the skin.
• For all work in the vicinity of hot surfaces, wear safety gloves.
• Before carrying out any work, make sure that all surfaces have
cooled down to the ambient temperature.

Basic safety notes
WARNING
Risk of injury from parts coming loose!
If the shock absorbers are faulty, the product can become
damaged. Parts coming loose in this way can lead to injuries.
• Regularly check the components for wear and damage.
WARNING
Risk of injury if the condition or behavior of the product is
undefined!
Cutting off the compressed air supply in an uncontrolled manner
could lead to undefined states and behavior. This may cause
personal injury or material damage.
• The operator must define suitable emergency stop and
restarting strategies.
✓ Emergency stop strategies: e.g. by means of controlled shut
down
✓ Restarting strategies: e.g. using pressure build-up valves or
suitable valve switching sequences

Material damage due to an incorrect tightening torque!
If the threaded pin is tightened with an incorrect tightening
torque, the product may be damaged.
• Observe a maximum tightening torque of 10 Ncm for the set-
screws.

CAUTION
Damage to the rotary module possible!
The rotary module can be damaged if it arrives too abruptly in
the end position.
• The rotary motion must reach the end position without jerk or
bounce.
• Therefore flow control valves and shock absorbers must be
used, } 6.1 [/ 31] and } 6.2 [/ 32].
• Please observe the information in the catalog pages.
6.1 Setting the speed

CAUTION
Material damage due to erroneous settings!
If the end position is approached too hard, the product may be
damaged.
• Adjust exhaust throttle valve and shock absorber so that the
movement is braked smoothly.
1. Close exhaust throttle valve completely.
2. Open exhaust throttle valve until the product starts to move.

3. Continue to open the exhaust throttle valve incrementally until
the movement decelerates smoothly.
✓ If the speed is too low, the product will brake too soon and
the end position will be reached too slowly.
✓ If the speed is too high, the product will impact against the
end position and the shock absorber will be overloaded.
NOTE
A smooth motion may also be too slow in many use-cases. Further
settings can be made via the shock absorbers, } 6.2 [/ 32].
